  • Currently in a very early demo/pre-alpha stage with numerous bugs, including broken AI, glitches, and frequent crashes, leading to frustrating gameplay.
  • Limited content with only one or two maps and modes available; lacks polish, player population, and meaningful single-player or PvP experiences.

  • gameplay

    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 65% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The gameplay shows promise with fast-paced, run-and-gun combat reminiscent of classic Battlefront titles, featuring jetpacks and high mobility, but it suffers from clunky controls, lack of polish, and balancing issues. While some appreciate its potential and ongoing improvements, many find it shallow, awkward, and poorly executed, with missing tutorials and unclear objectives detracting from the overall experience. Development has ceased, leaving the gameplay incomplete and less compelling compared to other shooters on the market.

    • “Starting with the good, this game is promising a lot and so far the gameplay is pretty solid and gives me a similar feel to the combat of the original Star Wars Battlefront 2.”
    • “I greatly enjoy the third-person run and gun gameplay which pairs nicely to the movement speed, high jumps, and jetpacks allowing for a great capacity to maneuver around your opponent causing many fast paced firefights throughout the match.”
    • “The mechanics work well, with the combat being fast-paced and exciting.”
    • “The game fell apart because of the ground-to-space mechanic; its ambitions made it die a painful death like Icarus flying too close to the sun.”
    • “Going from the ground into outer space sounds cool on paper, but the big ships never actually enhanced the gameplay or added any real new dynamics, which detracts from the experience.”
    • “Absolutely horrible gameplay as if they never played an FPS before... why even release something knowing it's horrible?”

  • graphics

    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The graphics are a mixed bag, with some praising decent models and a solid engine, while others criticize inconsistent art style, poor lighting, and busy or uninspired visuals. Optimization issues also affect performance, especially on lower-end hardware. Overall, the visuals are functional but lack polish and cohesion, impacting the game's aesthetic appeal.

    • “UE4 is a fantastic engine and many games I've played use this engine; it's absolutely fantastic, especially given how much of a graphical powerhouse it is.”
    • “The engine seems solid, and the graphics are great.”
    • “Pretty good graphics, better than I was expecting in the looks department... I will definitely be buying this game if or when it gets the singleplayer open world campaign as was promised.”
    • “For starters, the graphics have so much to be desired.”
    • “My only real criticism here is that the art style is very inconsistent; some things are just painful to look at, like: particle effects, healing stations, holographic ads scattered around the maps, and most vori models.”
    • “Graphics are good and bad at the same time, the models are nice, though apparently they're just stock assets; the lighting is atrocious, and the map looks unnaturally dark when you consider all the bright neon lights that are everywhere.”

  • stability

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs, glitches, and poor optimization that hinder performance and gameplay. Server problems and technical flaws like missing textures and AI glitches are common, although some reviewers acknowledge these problems are somewhat expected in its early access state. Overall, the unstable and unpolished state detracts from the experience despite the game's underlying potential.

    • “The game itself was a buggy, unoptimized nightmare that couldn't run to save its life. The VFX and SFX are basic at best and stolen or bought at worst. The maps lack detail and polish, and the game runs like absolute garbage. It feels like a complete waste of potential.”
    • “In its current state, the game is a buggy, unbalanced mess that is not fun to play at all.”
    • “I cannot lie in saying the game needs work. The launch was limited and missing many planned features like space combat and ground-to-space battles. There are many technical problems like AI getting stuck, character models failing to load, and audio glitches.”

  • optimization

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    Optimization reviews are mixed, with some players experiencing poor performance, bugs, and UI issues, while others report decent optimization and smooth gameplay. Many note that the graphics aren't demanding for current-gen hardware, suggesting that better optimization could improve the experience significantly. Overall, there's hope for improvement through updates.

    • “It seems like it's well optimized and it ran fine for me.”
    • “Graphics are nice, decent optimization and guns fun to use, but lots of sounds are missing and animations could be better; hope they work more on this game.”
    • “Pretty well optimized but could be better.”
    • “The game itself was a buggy, unoptimized nightmare that couldn't run to save its life. The VFX and SFX are basic at best and stolen or bought at worst. The maps lack detail and polish, and the game runs like absolute garbage. It feels like an absolute waste of potential.”
    • “There are still models that aren't even animated. The UI is really bad, and the performance, well, you guessed it, is bad.”
    • “The graphics aren't current-gen and thus shouldn't be causing a problem like that, but with optimization, this game can be fixed.”

  • monetization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 83% negative mentions

    The monetization in the game is minimal or absent, resulting in no intrusive advertisements but causing limited funding. This leads to inconsistent art styles and less polished visual elements, such as bright neon ads that clash with the intended atmosphere, impacting overall immersion.

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game lacks a single-player story mode, NPCs, and designed narrative content, relying solely on multiplayer PvP, which many users find uninspired and limiting. Reviewers suggest that adding a story and richer game design elements could greatly enhance its appeal. Currently, the absence of a compelling story and tutorial detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The developers made the fatal, lazy mistake of believing that PvP and other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding single-player level design, storytelling, NPCs, and other rich aspects of designed game content.”
    • “Add a story mode and this could become a massive game. Also, optimize for lower graphic settings to gain higher FPS, creating a perfect game where low-end players can run it and high-end players can admire the scenery.”
    • “It doesn't have any type of story, but just multiplayer.”
    • “Instead, this game drops you into a multiplayer shooter with no tutorial, no story, and very little UI customization.”
    • “It doesn't have any type of story, just multiplayer.”
    • “Add a story mode and this could become a massive game.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with some users finding it enjoyable and the standout aspect compared to other elements. However, others feel the music and sound effects are generic and bland. Overall, the soundtrack is considered one of the better features of the game.

    • “They are not bad though, the music is actually pretty darn good.”
    • “I did enjoy the music; the maps weren't too huge, so I didn't need to run 15 minutes to get a kill, the respawn after dying is quick, and the hit damage seems reasonable. I hope they add more modes than what they showed.”
    • “I'm not going to lie, the soundtrack is probably the best part of the game, in a relative sense.”
    • “One map, very few weapons, and barely anything to separate the classes; the music and sound effects are generic and bland.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is heavily impacted by the game's dark and hard-to-see lighting, which detracts from the overall setting and immersion. However, the game's feel still evokes a nostalgic resemblance to classic SWBF2 titles.

    • “The biggest problem for me is the lighting; the game loses all sense of atmosphere and setting due to the absolutely horrid lighting.”
    • “Despite the very dark and hard-to-see layout of the map and character designs (due to the dark atmosphere of the map), the game's feel is highly reminiscent of the SWBF2 of old.”

  • character development

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Character development and designs received criticism for being too dark and hard to see, which negatively impacted the overall visual experience despite evoking a nostalgic feel reminiscent of the older SWBF2 game.

    • “Despite the very dark and hard-to-see layout of the map and character designs (due to the dark atmosphere of the map), the game's feel is highly reminiscent of the SWBF2 of old.”
    • “I also don't like the character designs.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor is polarizing, appealing mainly to those who enjoy dark or offbeat comedy, often involving questionable or edgy content. It's best appreciated with friends who share a similar taste.
